Taylor Thomson Seeks to Suppress Pamela Miller’s Testimony in Pellicano Trial

In another strange twist at the Pellicano trial, Canadian heiress Taylor Thomson has filed a motion to intervene and suppress the testimony of former nanny Pamela Miller, citing her fears that Miller will “demean and ridicule” her former employer. She also is concerned with how the trial is proceeding– Pellicano is failing to object to “the government’s unceasing introduction of irrelevant, prejudicial and inadmissible evidence”.

The May 2006 issue McLean’s, the Canadian magazine, has the backstory of Ms. Thomson, a member of one of the richest families in the world:

The indictment added to that list lesser figures: Michael Kolesa, the father of Taylor Thomson’s child, and Pamela Miller, her former nanny, as targets in an alleged espionage operation by Pellicano, whose expertise Thomson had relied upon in at least one past court dealing. Taylor has denied authorizing any illegal surveillance.

The family owns part of the Globe and Mail, as well as Thomson Corp., a $28.7-billion global digital media empire administered from Stamford, Conn., with electronic databases in law, health care, science, accounting and education.

Taylor Thomson was a sometime actress and producer, known as Lynne, living in Venice, when she married and divorced Kolsea, and hired Pamela Miller as a nanny for their child, and somewhere along the line, needed the services of Mr. P.

She’s got quite the history of litigation.
